Official title
Post-Operative Pain and Skin Closure Methods After Cesarean Section
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The study is looking at women undergoing cesarean section delivery of their baby. The purpose of this research study is to determine what type of skin closure after cesarean section helps decrease pain level the most and improves the appearance of the incision site. The study hypothesis is to determine if skin closure with absorbable subcuticular staples leads to improved cosmesis and/or decreased post-operative pain. Participants in the study will already be scheduled for a cesarean section for delivery of their baby. They will be randomized into one of three groups, 1) Insorb (absorbable subcuticular stapes), 2) Vicryl suture or 3) Monocryl suture for the skin closure of their cesarean section. Information that will be recorded includes amount of pain medication usage while in the hospital after cesarean section, daily patient rated pain score until discharge from hospital, pain score 6 weeks after surgery and cesarean section cosmetic scar 6 weeks after surgery.
